The majority of malware and data exfiltration hides within SSL/TLS encryption, blinding your security inspection tools. Decrypt and orchestrate to make your controls more effective.
Nearly 90% of all Internet traffic is encrypted. And F5 Labs threat research shows that 68% of malware uses encryption to hide when calling back to command and control.
Decrypting and re-encrypting traffic is computationally intensive, and many inspection tools—like next-generation firewalls and malware protection platforms—are simply unable to decrypt at scale. But visibility into encrypted traffic is not enough. The daisy chain of decryption and re-encryption through multiple security devices induces unnecessary latency and complexity. Policy-based orchestration breaks the daisy chain to most effectively stop malware and protect user privacy.
The BI tools you rely on to provide user activity insights are blind.
Malware calls home and data is exfiltrated over encrypted channels.
Decryption on daisy-chained security tools causes performance degradation and latency.
Disparate policies on multiple inspection tools and key management increase overhead.
Decrypting all traffic can violate privacy laws and regulations.
Find the hidden threats in both inbound and outbound traffic.
Easily add and remove security tools in your architecture over inline layer 2, inline layer 3, inline web proxy, ICAP, and TAP.
Drive traffic to security tools based on context like IP reputation, port/protocol, and URL categorization.
Set custom granular policies regarding how encrypted traffic is routed through your architecture.
No need to copy private encryption keys to multiple devices.
Easily integrates into complex architectures over layers 2 or 3.
Choose cipher sets in one place, with the latest available PFS ciphers.
Use out-of-band tools even when the traffic is encrypted with perfect forward secrecy.
Inspecting your client traffic for malware, command and control, data exfiltration, or violations of acceptable use policies is critical to detecting or preventing a data breach.

Internet-facing applications typically require security tools like bot management, web application firewall, and intrusion protection systems, as well as data analytics tools that the business relies on to gain insight into customer activity. These tools need visibility to the layer 7 data to perform inspection.
